Stopping the Violence Counselling

If you are dealing with or have dealt with any sort of abuse at any point in your life, then you may be familiar with the stress and trauma that can occur as a result. The Stopping the Violence Program exists so that you don’t have to go through it alone.

Counsellors provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment for women to explore the effects of violence in their lives. Counselling is tailored to meet the individual needs and goals of each woman.
